The Continuous Feeling of God’s presence: The Book of Second Samuel (Bible stories for kids 10)
To our Beloved sons and daughters: What do you know about the Book of Second Samuel?
The book of Second Samuel recorded the history of the kingdom of King David since he was enthroned and for the period of 40 years.
This book concentrated on “The presence before the Lord”, so David does not move unless he asks the Lord (2:1 & 5:19, 23 & 21: 1)
He became ruler over Israel “before the Lord” (5:3)
He danced “before the Lord” with all his might. (6:14)
When Michal rebuked him, he did not retreat but ascertained to her that he is so small in his eyes “before the Lord” who appointed him to be king over His people.
When David sinned, he said “I have sinned against the Lord.” (12: 13)
In every victory, he sang to the Lord being his rock, fortress, and deliverer. (22: 2).
The Book is illustrated with Coptic Icons
